Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Chapter 238 Reward

Listening to Ye Fan's tone, it didn't seem like he was simply elevating Fang Ming's strength to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level; it seemed he had a higher objective.

In reality, Fang Ming didn't think they possessed such ability; that was a bit unrealistic.

If there truly was a method to raise a cultivator's cultivation beyond the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, they would have likely used it and popularized it long ago.

Even just reaching the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level was worth popularizing. The power of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was already enough to change too many things.

Not to mention above the Quasi-Immortal Emperor, even if they hadn't reached the true Immortal Emperor level, only having some involvement.

The reason the Strange Clan's Immortal Emperors were inexhaustible was due to the strongest polluting substance from the Plateau of Disaster.

These polluting substances were the remnants left after the Three Lifetimes Copper Coffin Master self-sealed and self-immolated. Although they weren't truly Sacrifice Dao above great power, they surpassed the Sacrifice Dao level by an unknown amount, thus they could create Immortal Emperors.

Most of the Strange Clan's Immortal Emperors were promoted by relying on strange substances, but this didn't mean that all of them were born this way, nor did it mean that there were no strong individuals among them.

Among them, there were those like the Dark Immortal Emperor, who was targeted by the Strange Clan before becoming an Immortal Emperor. After becoming an Immortal Emperor, he was immediately polluted and ambushed by the Weird Immortal Emperor with the strongest true blood, causing him to fall and become a Weird Immortal Emperor.

For example, the Dark Immortal Emperor, if not for the birth of Shi Hao, a variable, this Immortal Emperor would have inevitably been guided back to Ertu of the Strange Clan in the future and would certainly become an incredibly powerful Weird Immortal Emperor.

Of course, the number of such Weird Immortal Emperors was very small, only one or two out of ten.

"How can this be done? If there truly is such a method, why don't you Fellow Daoists help your friends and family improve their cultivation?" Fang Ming asked.

Looking at the five people, he speculated, "Could it be that you Fellow Daoists intend to refine my Five Great Split Bodies into weapons?"

As he spoke, Fang Ming subconsciously frowned. He felt that this was very inappropriate.

Putting aside whether or not they still had the ability to refine Immortal Emperor weapons, Fang Ming believed that with their abilities, even Wu Shi, who had just become an Immortal Emperor not long ago, his Dao Fruit was strong enough to support him in refining two Immortal Emperor weapons.

If his split bodies were refined into weapons, their strength would leap by an unknown number of dimensions. Even if his main body wasn't affected, who would control the initiative?

However, a weapon is the continuation of its master's Great Dao, a part of their Dao Fruit. If it were truly refined into an Immortal Emperor weapon, how could the initiative still be in his hands?

Although he believed in their character, such matters couldn't be explained away by belief alone.

Even if the refiner actively severed the connection, that feeling of being choked would remain, and it would definitely not be forgotten.

Seeing Fang Ming's expression at this moment, the few people present immediately understood something.

"Fellow Daoist must have misunderstood," Ye Fan said with a smile, "Indeed, it can be considered a type of weapon, but it is not refining ordinary weapons, and even less is it refining the Fellow Daoist's split bodies into weapons that are intimately connected to us, transforming them into extensions of our Great Dao."

To quickly increase strength, there was no other way besides this method.

Originally, Fang Ming's purpose in separating the Five Great Split Bodies was certainly not this. In fact, his purpose was similar to Ye Fan and the others, planning to cultivate multiple Dao Fruits and return to the main body in the future, achieving a breakthrough to an astonishing level in one fell swoop.

His previous so-called taking a different path was actually planning to ask Ruthless person to make a move, allowing him to devour the origin of Soul River and even the Netherworld, causing him to rapidly ascend.

Fang Ming asked with considerable curiosity, "Oh? Then how do you Fellow Daoists plan to proceed?"

"Using Fellow Daoist's body and the All Heavens immortal gold as the cauldron, our Sacrifice Dao patterns will serve as protection for Fellow Daoist's main body, and then using the Weird Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit as material, we will forge it with the fire of Sacrifice Dao, like refining a weapon, to elevate it to the strongest level in the fastest time." Shi Hao looked at Fang Ming and explained with a smile, "Of course, it is not melting everything into one, but rather using the fire of Sacrifice Dao to forge the Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit, and then..."

Shi Hao paused, looked at Fang Ming, and said with full confidence, "...extracting the Great Dao from the Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit that is compatible with Fellow Daoist's split body's Dao, and with our help, integrating it into Fellow Daoist's Dao Fruit and imprint on the split body, elevating and expanding Fellow Daoist's Great Dao. This will be done in the most fierce and rapid way, without any side effects, just like how the Strange Clan's Quasi-Immortal Emperors are promoted to the Immortal Emperor level."

"In this way, Fellow Daoist's Great Dao can be deduced to an extremely high level. Even if it doesn't become an Immortal Emperor, it is enough to elevate Fellow Daoist's split body to the level of condensing the rudimentary form of an Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit." Shi Hao was very confident, clearly having made deductions and even verified them.

"This is the method of sacrificing weapons that we few have jointly created. The inspiration comes from the Great Sacrifice of the Strange Clan. Fellow Daoist's split body is the object that receives the Great Sacrifice, and the specific effect depends on the sacrifice," Ye Fan added.

However, with an Immortal Emperor as the sacrifice, how could the effect be poor? Without some special protection, Fang Ming truly didn't think he could enjoy such a sacrifice.

As an Immortal Emperor, even an Immortal Emperor achieved by relying on strange substances, they were still true and real Immortal Emperors, and their own Dao encompassed countless Immortal Emperor level Great Daos.

Moreover, the Immortal Emperors of this clan did not stop progressing after becoming Immortal Emperors.

According to their deductions, if they obtained the Strange Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit and used it as material, forging it with the fire of Sacrifice Dao, they could indeed achieve such a thing.

But it could only go so far. With just one Immortal Emperor, it could only create the rudimentary form of an Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit that surpassed the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, not a true Immortal Emperor!

Moreover, the so-called rudimentary form of an Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit realm was clearly a transitional realm, a realm that was forcibly created and divided. Historically, there had clearly never been such a realm.

To achieve such a realm meant that an Immortal Emperor had to be stripped of their Dao Fruit, truly fall, and be completely annihilated forever!

Even the strange Plateau of Disaster could not resurrect them!

Throughout history, the number of people who could do such a thing, besides the Ancestors of the Strange Clan, could be counted on one hand!

Now, in front of him, there were three people who could do such a thing.

"The rudimentary form of an Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit..." Fang Ming hesitated, clearly understanding that this realm did not exist before and was a realm forcibly inserted between the Immortal Emperor and the Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

While the temporary pleasure was good, it would be bad if he stopped here in the future.

At this time, as if seeing his worries, Ye Fan spoke, saying, "Fellow Daoist need not worry about the problem of being unable to advance in the future. For Fellow Daoist, the Strange Clan's Immortal Emperors are the best supreme immortal elixirs."

"Fellow Daoist, don't forget how the Strange Clan's Immortal Emperors are born, and don't forget that you have the ability to open different times and spaces!" Ye Fan said meaningfully.

In an instant, Fang Ming's mind felt as if struck by a lightning bolt, and the dark clouds dispersed.

That's right, the Strange Clan's Immortal Emperors were indeed promoted by relying on strange substances, but this didn't mean that their own Dao and methods were the same.

Clearly, they relied on strange substances to elevate their Dao and methods, thereby ascending to the position of Immortal Emperor, not inheriting the Dao and methods of their predecessors.

If they had inherited the Dao and methods of their predecessors, inheriting the power from the strange Highland, then with the status of the strange Highland, it would clearly be impossible for anyone to completely kill the Immortal Emperors of this clan.

But this clearly didn't match the facts, because more than one Strange Clan Immortal Emperor had been completely killed.

"That's right, I have killed more than one Strange Clan Immortal Emperor. Although they subsequently replaced the Immortal Emperors I killed, the Dao of the subsequently replaced Immortal Emperors was not the same as the Dao of the Strange Immortal Emperors I killed," Shi Hao's voice sounded at this time.

"One Weird Immortal Emperor cannot make Fellow Daoist's split body an Immortal Emperor, so what about two? Three? Or even four?" At this time, Ruthless person, who had been silent, spoke. She looked at Fang Ming and said, "Reasonably utilize your own advantages. I rose from a humble background back then, and I also utilized external objects. Now I have reached the current level. There is no need to care too much about these things."

Fang Ming smiled. Of course, he would not be bound by these things. He had never rejected taking shortcuts.

As long as it didn't affect the main body and could even allow him to experience the profoundness of that high realm in advance, Fang Ming would naturally not reject it.

At this level of cultivation, the importance of form had greatly decreased, at least it was no longer the top priority, so Fang Ming didn't care too much.

Immediately, Fang Ming looked at the few people with a smile and said, "If it doesn't affect my main body, then we have a pleasant cooperation!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the five people present immediately smiled. For them, this was a very important cooperation, of crucial importance.

This was the key to breaking the deadlock!

"Of course, it will not affect Fellow Daoist's main body!" On the pleasant and refreshing sea surface, Shi Hao, Ye Fan, Ruthless person, Wu Shi, and Original, the five of them, spoke with smiles at the same time.

Fang Ming's smile faded, and he looked at the five people, asking, "According to your Fellow Daoists' deductions, how long will it take to successfully perform the second Sacrifice Dao?"

"It won't take long. The first Sacrifice Dao only took me over a million years." Shi Hao recalled the past, feeling a bit lost, then quickly became serious and said, "But the second one won't take that long. Perhaps it will be several hundred thousand years, at most a million years, and I and Heavenly Emperor Ye will be able to cultivate the second Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit, and then we can successfully perform the second Sacrifice Dao. By then, we will basically not fear the strange Highland."

With the existence of the Great Method of Transforming into Others, the time it took him to cultivate to Sacrifice Dao could be said to be the shortest in history, without exception!

After a slight pause, Shi Hao looked at Ruthless person and said, "As for the Empress, she can enter the Sacrifice Dao realm at any time. If she is willing, she can try to enter this level now. It just depends on her choice."

"If she is not willing to perform Sacrifice Dao in the near future, but chooses to perform Sacrifice Dao with two Dao Fruits, then it may take around a million years," he said.

As for Wu Shi and Original, he did not mention them.

Wu Shi was delayed for too long and was only recently resurrected. He hasn't been an Immortal Emperor for very long, and his accumulation is not enough. He is still far from the Sacrifice Dao level. Cultivating two Dao Fruits and performing Sacrifice Dao is a better choice.

As for Original, the same principle applies. His foundation is not enough, and he needs to strengthen his foundation to have hope of reaching the Sacrifice Dao level.

"When the Empress successfully performs Sacrifice Dao, even if we cannot attack that strange place, we can truly stand against the strange Highland. Even if the strange Ancestors come out together, we will not fear them," Shi Hao said with full confidence.

"Fellow Daoist knows how many Ancestors there are?" Fang Ming asked with some surprise.

"That's not hard to guess." Shi Hao nodded and said solemnly, "The Strange Clan has ten Immortal Emperors. Correspondingly, there will likely be ten Ancestors as well."

"After successfully performing the second Sacrifice Dao, I and Wild Heaven Emperor alone will be enough to hold back the ten Great Ancestors." At this time, Ye Fan spoke, saying with strong conviction.

At their level, they naturally had a relatively clear understanding of the strength of the Ancestors.
